"Hey young lady, are you buying chicks or selling them?"
Some quick hands had already lifted a small corner, revealing a dense cluster of tiny chicks inside—they were absolutely adorable.
"There are so many, they must be for sale."
The man said definitively that others had also seen it.
"Hey girl, did you get these chicks from the countryside to sell? How much are they? I'm thinking of raising some chicks, and these look pretty good."
"One cent each, buy ten and get one free."
Seeing that there were quite a few people who wanted to buy, Yang Yufen thought for a moment and then spoke up.
"Is it really true that you get one free when you buy ten?"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the bus was immediately intrigued.
"Yes, but these chicks are newly hatched. We need to feed them some warm water when we get home, because I don't have anything to pack them here. I was planning to take them home and get them ready then, which would be cheaper."
"Then I'll take one yuan's worth. I brought my shopping basket; I can just wash it when I get home."
Immediately, someone handed over a dollar and a vegetable basket.
Yang Yufen took the money and the basket, lifted a corner of the coarse cloth, reached inside and grabbed them. Each one was lively and jumping around. After counting ten, she took one out and put it back in, making a neat eleven.
"Hey girl, where are you downloading? I want some of these chicks too. I didn't bring anything to pack them. I need a lot, girl, can you save fifty for me?"
When they saw that many people were buying, some people suddenly became anxious.
"You want that much? There's not much left for everyone if we split it."
Upon hearing that someone wanted more, the fighting intensified.
Upon seeing this, the fifty men took off their clothes.
"Hey little sister, put it here for me, I'll carry it back, I'll be at my stop soon."
Before Yang Yufen and Aunt Wang even reached their stop, their baskets were already empty. After getting off the bus, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"We still made ten yuan, let's split it 50/50."
With about a hundred chicks, including some bought and some given away, I used to earn five yuan a day working, and now I earn an extra five yuan.
"I'll go again next time."
Aunt Wang was happy to receive the money.
Five yuan can buy a huge piece of meat.
The two elderly women happily went home to cook, and Yang Yufen smiled when she saw that there were a lot of extra things in the house.
"Mom, we're back."
"Grandma, Grandma! We're back! We took so many beautiful photos today!"
Yang Yufen was just about to cook when she heard a noise and saw a family of four enter the house.
"Good, good, good, Niannian looks really good in this outfit. Young people should dress up more. Oh my, you look so energetic. Niannian has good taste."
Yang Yufen's eyes lit up. She had known her daughter-in-law was beautiful for a long time, but this was the first time she had seen her dressed so exquisitely.
Qin Nian lowered her head somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.
"mom."
Qin Nian called out.
"Hey, have you all eaten yet?"
"Mom, I'm going to cook. I also bought some cooked food. You should rest too. Niannian also bought some things for you."
Shen Xianjun took the initiative to lift up the things he was carrying.
"Okay, go cook."
Yang Yufen didn't stand on ceremony; her son was meant to be used and ordered around.
"We couldn't take you with us today, but Mom, please come with us next time."
Qin Nian led Yang Yufen into the house, talking as they walked.
“You and Xianjun are a couple, destined to spend your lives together. I’m getting old, and I know you’re both filial, but young people should live their own lives. How was your day? I saw the two kids were having a great time.”
Yang Yufen patted Qin Nian's hand.
